The only problem I got with a lot of the dudes who do thin veneer work is they don’t know how to fit rocks together they got stones that should be horizontal standing up and they got cross joints and it just doesn’t look like an authentic stone wall and I build stone walls and do thin veneer so I always try to make my thin veneer work look as close to the real deal as possible
How do I learn this trade? 50 years old and finally deciding what interests me the MOST -AND it’s rock work! But, I don’t know how to go about learning the craft; breaking into the trade. Do you guys have any advice? Thanks SO MUCH! LOVE the video AND Love ROCKS! 🍃✌🏽🍃
garysevern for the floor tiles the best way is cut the mud when starts dying and use the sponge to level and clean that's one way, or you could do the same finish than this guy but with special tool which cuts the deep way you want in all the joints and used the soft broom at the end...
what kind of mortar did you use on this particular job, Looks great! and approximately how long did you wait until you used the jointing tool to finish the joints?
I like how fast that is, but i dont like how it smears the faces of the stones a little bit from the mud being wet, This would roll on a blue stone walk way or some patio, blow the joints in the finish with a slicker and lightly brush.
lookin4more if doesn't come out is because is dry but if you put water and was it worst that means the mix is poor of cement.... mix is around 20 full shovels of masonry or washed sand per 1 94 pound of plastic cement.... Hope you see this comment
You have a lot a wasted material(mortar) in that way. Shouldn't you press/push that mortar immediately deeper inside in the gap avoiding all this lost after you brush the gaps with mortar.
IKEEPS EARTHQUAKE CHANNEL he is doing right the only thing is he is to slow probably because the mud is kind of dry he needs to put some water and mix, like that the mud flows easily

Nice job bro! You have lot of confidence which is essential for masonry work.
you can use little tea spoon for joint cleaning and finishing.
Can you use tile grout? I have some leftover
Dude, you rekindled a skill that my father taught me 35 years ago. Craftsmanship never goes out of style! Nice job!
Nice. May ask … who taught you? How did you learn to do rock work?

Anyone can learn to lay stone veneer. Laying out the stones so it looks nice or even resembles a real stone wall is art and many are not artistic.
